Recorded monuments

• SL044-029001 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, on a low drumlin at break of slope on the W side where the ground slopes down to a stream. Indicated as a circular enclosure on the 1942-3 OS 6-inch map. A subrectangular area (25.4m N-S; 22.4m E-W) with rounded corners, defined on the N, E and S sides by a flat-topped stony bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.4m) with traces of stone kerbing. A scarp (H 1.7m), coinciding with the natural break of slope, defines the interior along the W side and at the SW and NW corners. The scarp at the SW corner is topped by a slight stony rim. The bank is sod-covered, poorly preserved and to NW and W largely obscured by brambles, hawthorn bushes and heaps of loose stones. The stone kerbing is most clearly seen at the SE corner and along the E half of the S side but elsewhere is indicated only by an occasional stone. There is a break (Wth 5m) in the bank in the middle of the N side and another (Wth 3.4m) towards the W end of the S side. The scarp appears rather uneven and irregular with occasional stones and boulders protruding randomly from the long grass cover. The interior is level, grassy and featureless. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).

• SL044-029002 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, on the NW end of a drumlin ridge. Described in 1994 (SMR (1989) file) as an oval area (int. diam. 77m N-S; 160m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.6m) with a wide external fosse (Wth 6.8m; D 0.5m). A rectangular enclosure (SL044-029001-) was in the N half of the sloping interior. A stream was described as skirting the S perimeter c. 9m from the edge of the fosse. During a subsequent inspection, no remains of the fosse or any other enclosing elements could be identified although the rectangular enclosure (SL044-029001-) is still extant. An aerial photograph taken in September 2003 does not show any of the features mentioned in the 1994 field report. Compiled by: Archaeological Survey Unit, UCC with revisions by Patrick F. O'Donovan and Paul Walsh Date of upload: 20 June 2011
